2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Not interested in my all-in approach, or not interested in Porzingis altogether?

Both. Wonky fit with Gobert and bad injury history w/ a weird body frame.

I really want to see KP/Gobert together, it'd be interesting, but I just don't think it would be that great.

 

[David Stern]

Boston should throw everything they can at New York to get him.

Side-note, but teams this year should be really down on lottery picks, combine a weak top of the draft with those new lottery odds and I wouldn't be valuing those anything like they were in the past. I'd give up unprotected picks for AD in a heartbeat if I were NY/CHI/etc.

New lottery odds means more teams are going to value their lottery pick

I think it will be fascinating. And I also think it might work. Do you think KP is worse defender at the 4 than Jae for example? I don't. I think on offense they will be great together. Porzingis will be popping, Gobert will be rolling and pulling defenders toward the rim.

You are right about the injury history, though....

With the apparent Porter injury, I think Mike Conley moves into the lead for most likely Jazz trade.

AD/KP swap incoming

Yeah, Zingis is a terrible defender at the 4, and that was before an acl injury.

I think Gobert would guard 4s better than Porzingis.

*Teams with the worst records should be down on their picks (1-3 or so)

Mid--lotto picks should skyrocket in value. Late ones up as well (apart from 14th).

Better be a boatload of draft picks and Kevin Knox as well

The Dunc'd on mock might turn out to be correct. They traded KP, 2019 1st, 2025 1st and filler for AD
